Codemaster have managed to hold on to the top spot for as second week in a row despite a lot of strong competition. PES 2019 bursts in to the chart in second place, missing out on the top spot by just 250 copies, but with sales 40% lower than its predecessor.
Sega’s Yakuza Kiwami debuting in at number five, and then we have a couple of console exclusives with Capcom’s Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate on Switch coming in at number nine and Firewall Zero Hour for PSVR just missing out on the top ten.
Not a bad show for a load of games we didn’t review, but the one we did has only managed to hit number sixteen. What is wrong with you lot? Strange Brigade is lots of fun!

Those charts include bundled games, don’t they? Just not digital versions.
So if VR Worlds has jumped up to 13th, and is bundled with pretty much all the PSVR bundles you can get, that suggests either a big jump in the number of headsets being sold, or possibly nobody buys anything in August/September and the charts are extra pointless at this time of year.
I think there might be quite a few being sold though. Good deals lately, and Firewall might well have helped shift a few. Despite nobody being bothered to review it. Ok, there’s 5 reviews on Metacritic, but 3 of those are from specialist VR sites. And one of the other 2 dared to give it only 6/10, possibly for click-bait reasons.

Everyone is away on holiday in August, except me :(

GTAV is really quite unbelievable at this point. I bought my copy digitally and haven’t played it for about 3 years. Are they putting it in boxes of cereal or something?
